Product Description

Michael Graves™ has given one of the world's oldest and most popular board games a facelift to create this unique and beautiful Monopoly edition. The game is in a handsome, cherry-stained hardwood and veneer case that folds out to become a pedestal for play. On the side of the case is a pullout drawer that keeps the money neat for the banker. All the pieces have been designed anew, with casts of Graves' popular modern appliances for play pieces, little blue houses and tall red hotels. For 2 to 6 players. Ages 8 and up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful board ruined by plastic pieces, January 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Michael Graves Design™ Monopoly (Toy)

The case and playing board is very detailed and pretty. The playing pieces for the hotels/houses are made of cheap plastic which is a garish oversight. It couldn't have cost that much more money to have made all the non-wood pieces wood. Even the nostalgic set costing less than half of Graves' set has wood pieces.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'd recommend it, December 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Michael Graves Design™ Monopoly (Toy)

My only complaint is that the storage drawer was way too tight and extremly difficult to open. (maybe it was just mine though.)We actually had to use pliers to get it open the first time which really scratched up the knob. But with a little candle wax and minimal sanding it slides in and out just fine now. Otherwise, I love this set! It's compact, looks great, and I don't have to worry about the box falling aparat and the peices disappearing.

Very nice set, appealing to the eye. Pieces are unique, it has good weight to it. the Veneer on the wood is peeling after only 2 uses on mine, though. For a $50 board game, that is unacceptable.
